Course Overview
At some point in your life, you will have to make the decision to help in an emergency, hence; it is better to know first aid and not need it, than to need first aid and not know it.
First Aid is defined as the initial care provided to a sick or injured person by a trained personnel until definitive medical treatment can be accessed.
